Jacobson Companies has expanded its footprint with a strategic partnership with Rhenus Logistics, a major European logistics service provider. Jacobson's International Logistics division will provide regular air and ocean services to Central and Eastern Europe on a scheduled and expedited basis. Rhenus operates one of the largest LTL road networks in Europe, departing from gateways in Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Rotterdam and Antwerp.

The Jacobson/Rhenus partnership is a major building block in Jacobson's strategy to create a global end-to-end logistics solution for its customers.

"The strategic partnership with Rhenus will not only allow us to provide very competitive trans-Atlantic services, but also offer supply chain services in Europe, such as warehousing, value-added services and LTL/FTL services," says Peter Knapp, president of Jacobson International Logistics Services.
